Installing a Mitsubishi Electric Lossnay MVHR (Mechanical Ventilation Heat Recovery ) ventilation system into a new build property.
Lossnay is Designed for Today’s Modern Homes. The word “Lossnay” originated from the Japanese word “Loss-Nai”, meaning “No Loss”. Lossnay is a patented Balanced Pressure Heat Recovery Ventilation System ideal for more airtight homes built to the current UK Building Code.
Using the Lossnay Ventilation System you can achieve compliance with the ventilation standard that requires ventilation systems to draw fresh air from the outside to achieve good indoor air quality.
Ventilation and Airtight Building Design
Creating a healthy living environment is important when building a new home – you will want the perfect indoor climate year-round. In addition to efficient heating and cooling, this should include the optimum amount of fresh air. Current building regulations now demand homes to be built more airtight as they are subjected to higher insulation standards. The option of leaving doors or windows open to allow more fresh air to enter is often not the solution from an outdoor noise or security perspective.
Ventilation, Condensation and Moisture Management
The lack of natural ventilation due to airtight spaces can lead to the build-up of moisture-laden stale air within the home and creates the perfect breeding ground for mould that can trigger allergy or respiratory problems. Mould and dampness can compromise both building materials as well as furnishings inside the home. Common places for mould to grow include window sills, curtains and carpets. Surprisingly, it is easy to resolve once you have identified the problem.
The Project
Our customer had ventilation installed throughout the property with fresh air supplied and stale air extracted through the MVHR unit into the rooms with extract only from the bathrooms. The Lossnay MVHR unit was installed in the garage for easy service and maintenance. We installed the great looking Lindab Airy air valves in the ceilings for a clean finish.
